Vienna comes to Palma for the New Year concert

The Strauss Festival Orchestra Vienna was founded in 1978.

Since then, it has established itself as a leading orchestra that interprets Viennese music all over the world. The SFO regularly tours over the New Year period, and Palma is one of the venues.

There are two conductors - Willy Büchler and Peter Guth. It was the latter who founded the SFO, and he has been associated with numerous other top orchestras, such as London's Royal Philharmonic and the San Francisco Symphony.

Willy Büchler founded the highly regarded EOS Quartett in 1992 with colleagues from the Wiener Symphoniker.

Highlights of the programme include 'The Blue Danube' waltz and the 'Radetzky March'. The orchestra is accompanied by the Strauss Festival Ballet Ensemble.
